Honestly I don’t know what’s going on in the USA. You’re so proud of your “democracy and freedom” yet one of your 2 political parties is able to effectively dismantle the entire thing in less than a decade. You’re now one election away from being a christofascist state.
…and yet you’re all just going to work tomorrow. You’re all doing pretty much nothing except “make sure you vote in 2024.” So I guess every 4 years you’re going to be one election away from a literal Nazi takeover?
I don’t know. Riot or something. I have no idea how you’re all coping so hard.
Ooof this makes the democratics seem like they are in on it or just really horrible at policy making to stop it
They are absolutely terrible at policy, especially with the moderate and right wing pleasing neoliberals in power. They’re useless.
Unfortunately the other choice is unbridled fascism.
so they have to make do with bridled fascism then 😂
You mean the establishment Democratic Party that, after Carter got elected, modified its primary rules to weaken the infuence of the public? That Democratic party?
We have a few left-wing Democrats, and the rest of the party reminds them they’re the red-haired stepchildren of the party every chance they get. Pelosi started forcing Occasio-Cortez to play ball on the regular, that is vote against her left-wing values to keep her positions, to get her used to the idea of selling out.
The party is corporate owned, largely by IP interests like Disney and Sony, but by capitalists in whole who are just as invested in the system of bonded servitude as the Republicans. For most matters, they’re still going to back the blue against the unions, the immigrants and the minorities. But they’ll wear a rainbow pin on their lapel while they do.
We vote for them because thats how FPTP elections work: one-person-one-vote means we vote against the popular monster by voting for the other popular guy. And no we can’t get a public-serving government out of it.
